//GLOBAL
Gen Y, a.k.a. the millennial generation, boys and girls
between 15-30, is increasingly entering the job market.
Since they are globally a bigger cohort than their
predecessors (Gen X), their influence on society, politics
and business the next decades will be higher and
comparable to the influential Babyboomer generation.

But this new active generation feels that they are not
taken serious at this point. Not only by politicians and the
government but also by corporations and brands.
// HOT TAKEAWAYS
Gen Y is the internet generation. Online surfing is the number one
activity during leisure time (especially in China and India).
Millennials look for social proximity as well though (like hanging out
with friends) and feel respected by the people surrounding them
(partner, parents, friends).

Russian, Chinese and Indian Yers feel they get enough attention
from brands (approx. 1/2). European Yers are less convinced.
Regardless of the country, brands should create an own style and
evoke happiness. For some countries (Romania, USA, China),
authenticity is key, so is brand asset. Only a minority of Gen Yers
across the globe feel respected by the job market. Moreover the
economic crisis is worrying a lot of Millennials.

//Gen Yers IN THE FUTURE
Q: Suppose there weren’t any kind of limitations, which of the following things would you like to realize? I would like to become a famous...



15% of American youngsters want to become a musician/artist. Being a company leader (10%) comes in second, which is remarkable in the
current economical climate, but a lot less compared to other countries. American Y‟ers do not want to become a TV-personality as such.

// THE INFLUENCE OF Gen Yers
Q: We would like you to estimate the influence you have on your parents for each of the following aspects.


Yers are not only the generation of the future, they have a vast impact on today’s financial powerful consumers as well. Especially when it
comes to adopting technologies (51%) and buying products/services (41%). Yers have limited influence on their parent‟s clothing style (21%) and
political choices (18%) in the US.

// Gen Yers AND THEIR CHILDREN
Q: What do you think you might do differently compared to your parents when raising your child(ren)?


American generation Yers are rather satisfied about how they were raised by their parents. Only when it comes to listening and being an
educator, they feel they‟ll do a better job.
Concerning to the other studied countries, American Yers will keep the same balance between being a ‘friend’ and an ‘educator’ when raising
their children.

they deserve from brands. Pay attention, these are the consumers of the future!
Dear politicians, be aware of the youngster's revolt!

Generation Y around the World: global youth research by InSites Consulting

  • 1. Generation Y around the world Results of our new global youth study Joeri Van den Bergh Follow @joeri_insites on Twitter Pieter De Vuyst http://www.howcoolbrandsstayhot.com
  • 2. // OUR COOL COUNTRIES STUDY in 16 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE 4.056 consumers (15 – 25 y.o.), representative total country population (region, gender, age). Data collected on proprietary research panels from InSites Consulting. To benchmark results we refer to the ‘average cross studied countries’ which cannot be seen as a representative global figure.
  • 3. IN OUR INTERNATIONAL STUDY WE’VE FOCUSSED ON 6 DIFFERENT TOPICS In this report you‟ll find out everything you need to know about Generation Y’s view on the future, work and life. In the coming months we‟ll focus on other Gen Y related topics separately. So follow us on Twitter, read the updates on our website and watch our SlideShare for new presentations. Saw some cool stuff you want to discuss? Contact us! Joeri.vandenbergh@insites.eu But above all, start listening to Generation Y!
  • 4. THIS REPORT SHARES THE DETAILED RESULTS FOR (click the country icon to read the country-specific press release) - United States - United Kingdom - Belgium NL FR - The Netherlands Interested in the results of Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Romania, Russia, Sweden or Spain? Contact us via Anke.Moerdyck@InSites- Consulting.com
  • 6. Gen Y, a.k.a. the millennial generation, boys and girls between 15-30, is increasingly entering the job market. Since they are globally a bigger cohort than their predecessors (Gen X), their influence on society, politics and business the next decades will be higher and comparable to the influential Babyboomer generation. But this new active generation feels that they are not taken serious at this point. Not only by politicians and the government but also by corporations and brands.
  • 7. // HOT TAKEAWAYS Gen Y is the internet generation. Online surfing is the number one activity during leisure time (especially in China and India). Millennials look for social proximity as well though (like hanging out with friends) and feel respected by the people surrounding them (partner, parents, friends). Russian, Chinese and Indian Yers feel they get enough attention from brands (approx. 1/2). European Yers are less convinced. Regardless of the country, brands should create an own style and evoke happiness. For some countries (Romania, USA, China), authenticity is key, so is brand asset. Only a minority of Gen Yers across the globe feel respected by the job market. Moreover the economic crisis is worrying a lot of Millennials.
  • 9.
  • 10. //Gen Yers IN THEIR LEISURE TIME Q: During your leisure time, which of these activities do you like the most?

I would like to become a famous... 15% of American youngsters want to become a musician/artist. Being a company leader (10%) comes in second, which is remarkable in the current economical climate, but a lot less compared to other countries.

  • 13. // GEN Yers IN THE SPOTLIGHTS Q: In our daily lives, we are in contact with our friends and family, but also with companies and brands, the government and politicians, the society in general... the world! Thinking back to those experiences, to what extent do you feel you get the attention you deserve from… Gen Yers feel especially respected by people from their direct environment. 1 out of 5 youngsters have the feeling they don‟t get the attention they deserve from brands.
